It looks like Thala is in a great spirit and full tempo to make ‘Asal’ a smash hit of 2010.

The latest we hear about this landmark project of Ajith is that its shoot is up and running in AVM Studios.

The art director of the film, M Prabhakar has erected a set and the ‘Asal’ was seen busy canning a song sequence. The sources in the know had it that a song that goes like “Athiri Puthiri Pannikada, Yedhiri Unakku Illaiyada” was shot for which Ajith was shaking legs with his arm candy, Bhavana. Dance Master Raju Sundharam has choreographed for the song composed by Bharadwaj and Y KINZ.

The shoot and the post production work of this Sivaji Production’s action extravaganza is getting done on the double as the film is scheduled to be released for Republic Day.
